How to Master the Braid
Prep is Key
Before diving into braiding bliss, make sure your hair is prepped and ready. Spritz on some texturizing spray to give your hair that desired “grip” for braiding.
Divide and Conquer
Section your hair into manageable parts before braiding. This will make the process smoother and your braids more consistent.
Loosen Up
Once you’ve braided your hair, gently pull on the sections to create that effortlessly undone look. Remember, perfection is overrated—we’re all about that boho vibe!
Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize
Don’t be afraid to play with accessories. Whether it’s floral pins, beads, or even tiny hoops woven into your braids, these add-ons take your boho game to the next level.
